yeah, as a crotchety old unix guy, 10k requests a second was a benchmark 30 years ago on an actual server

today a raspberry pi 5 can do 50k/s with TLS no sweat



Can you give me an example of how to do 50k/s with TLS on an rpi? Also what do you use to measure that?

I've tried a little with httpd (apache) on an older desktop I use as my home server and got terrible results. I can't remember but it might have been single digit or low double digit rps.


Based on these benchmark numbers, 50k/s seems plausible (not sure about the no sweat bit though ;-)): https://www.wolfssl.com/wolfssl-on-pi5-benchmarks/

Also found this bit:

> But second, the new Broadcom SOC finally supports the ARM cryptography extensions, which make it 45x faster at AES, for instance. With TLS almost everywhere, this keeps crypto performance from becoming the bottleneck. Nice.
